General Overview of Experience Same as described by everyone else. Met another dude in elevator at the hotel and gave him a ride to and from, but really only saw glimpse of him during the process. There was actually a guy who went before us who arrived at 0400. We were at 0600. A300 sim (glad I spent money on a 757 sim a few days earlier…but I was actually really glad I did…very transferable to my sim. A300 is pitchy and powerful, watch PIOs. Did sim with Dan Sherlock, HR with Capt Perryman, Waren Zohler and a new HR lady training with Waren. Very positive tone for interview. Here is a little about us…walk me through you. Used resume as a guide, but went from first flight as a kid to here to today. Asked about UPS as a business and use a technique someone told me to imagine a small business who want to sell something, they can go to UPS business to set up a plan, get a manufacturing plant chosen, UPS capital to buy tools, UPS Logistics to box, ship wearhouse…IT for a store front…to someone’s front door. I think I covered every aspect of UPS and didn’t receive another question about big Big Brown. Capt Perryman then asked me my only stern question. Don’t thing being mean is natural for her and asked what if she was doing stuff on standard all trip and finally wasn’t stabilized and telling me it’s going to be ok, just trust her. I tried to work with her as the FO, but ultimately told her to go around, she said no so I told tower we were going around. She said how do you think that downwind leg would be. I said ackward. My bro who is finishing up Jo’s first year said they just dinged a tail recently for that exact scenario so I must have chosen the correct courses of action. After that she was back to super friendly. Told some war stories about the A-10 and being a BALO. Difference between passengers and packages? Point A to B safe, no real difference for flying. How to save money? Pull it back if early. Did you ever save any money? Yes, told story. If I asked your wife, what would she say you need to improve, besides your ugly face what would she say? At the very end Waren asked me a riddle (I hate riddles and gave up very quickly)…a dad brings his son on to a plane early. FA asks if the kid wants to see the cockpit…kid goes up talks to the Capt and FO. Returns to his seat. Capt leans over to the FO and says “that’s my son!” Who is the Captain?
